Rides With Bats
I had a good meeting with Russell tonight. He has some interesting ideas about getting out the vote—not the vote for any particular candidate, just The Vote. We talked about the LNA website, and the benefits of converting it to a wiki. I think it will be an easy conversion, and Russell agrees. I'll do it over the weekend.
Riding back on the MoPac, the sky over the path was thick with bats out in search of dinner. One flew along with me for about a block, bearing just two points off the larboard bow and keeping apace. I've never seen a bat fly in a straight line that long.
As I crossed the bridge over 48th Street, the temperature jumped from a comfortable evening coolness to stifling. Whether it was radiant heat from the concrete or if the exhaust of all the vehicles was involved, I don't know, but the difference was startling.
Once away from the major road, the bats kept me company all the way home.
The samue I ordered are really comfortable. (They're the thing that arrived from Japan the yesterday.) I may have to buy more just to have them to wear around the house.
